Worker Heads — Golf Tourney Shoots Flock Of Birdies To Lead State Amateur Golf Play By F. T. MACFEELY JACKSONVILLE # — The golfer with the best combination of youth and experience is likely to come up with the sth annual Florida State Amateur Golf Champicaship fiext Sunday and there is plenty of indication it will be Gardner Dickinson, Panama City. Only 24, Dickinson has won 36 tournaments. He played with Lou- isiana State University’s national collegiate champions in 1948 and was medalist in the collegiate qualifying event the next year. Now learning the construction Business in Panama City, where hie has lived since 1950, Dickinson tipped his hand with half a dozen birdies and an eagle in the first match-play round of the State Tournament Tuesday. ‘ At that pace it took him only 18 holes to whip Calvert Pepper, general manager of the Gaines- ville Sun, 7 and 5. ‘Before he can take the state title, however, Dickinson: has to win five more matches. Standing in his path are five former state champions, two col- stars and a flock of other threats. Today’s best sec- round matches loomed be- tween Sonny ‘Tinney, Tallahassee, twice state intercollegiate golf champion from Florida State Uni- versity, and Dan Sikes, University of Florida golf captain from Jack- sonville. Lane Fulenwider, Jacksonville, who pulled Tuesday’s, biggest up- set by eliminating 18-year-old Don Bisplinghoff, Otlando, will have his hands full today against Dickinson. Dr. Charles Hillyer, Jacksonville osteopath who was medalist with a S-under-par 67 over the 6,500- yard San Jose course Monday, breezed into the second round where he ran into Ed Stephens, Gainesville. Defending Champion Frank Bor- ‘ kovich, Lakeland, met Ned Searcy, Jacksonville. dim Lee Jr., Tallahassee, state ehampion in 1946 and 1950, opposed 46-year-old Scotty Fraser, Panama City. Ward Rodgers, who won in ret met Ralph Sherman, Ponte ‘edra Beach. Carl Dann, Orlando, five times stite champion and a perennial stant since 1928, took on Lt. le Baugh, Tampa medal play mp. * Tommy Aycock, Jacksonville, who wzs state champion several rs back, was matched with ie Powers, Orlando . John Berry, T assee teen- ager, scored an easy first-round ‘win over C. G. Rodes, Ft. Lauder- dale, and today met Key Scales, Ocala. Two players who have knocked on the door but never quite won the title, W. A. Pagan, West Palm Beach, and Jimmy Paul, Daytona Beach, tangled in another of to- day's key matches. VISITORS 5 Baiers THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FROM OHIO AND Through By Pedro Aguila Heard thé Bolivar Castillo, ex- Key West Conch baseball player, and now business agent for the Ha- bana Cubans, wishes to play a game or two in Key West this week. Well, I hope they play and so will hundreds of other local fans. ‘i The papers show how our Danny Lastres is holding down the sec- ond base job for the Sun Sox, well we hope he makes good and hits over .300 this year. The Havana Cubans have lost one of their strong batters, Nap Reyes. Reyes who played with the Giants can play any infield position and is a dangerous man at the plate. He wants to play in Venezuela, so that helps the Sun Sox. Reminiscing: On March 31, 1935; at the Navy Field the. Hawthorns played the als and the game) ended in a 14 to 4 score, Baby Suarez pitched for the winners and Joe McGee was the man behind the plate. For the losers D. Nav- arro pitched and Gabriel was the catcher. In the nigbteap the Coconuts won ,over the Hawthorns by a 12 to 5 score. Storr pitcher and W. Butler were the battery for the winners and Hannah and McGee for the losers. - Smith-Flanagan ° Fight To Be Aired Tonight The new featherweight sensation, Gene Smith ‘of Washington, D.C., has been signed to meét a ranking veteran, Glen Flanagan, in the Uline Arena on Wednesday April 2. The radio broadcast description of this bout will be the highlight of ‘the regular Wednesday night Pabst ; Blue Ribbon Bouts program which | begins at 10 p.m., Eastern Stand- ard Time. s Smith, winner of every one of his 28 pro fights — 21 by KO — gained added prestige as a ‘‘com- er”’ when he knocked out Denver’s Corky Gonzales with a sensational right cross last January 23. After this KO, many fight fans smacked their lips in anticipation of mere ring-action from this 21-year-old; all seemed to agree that this boy, who possesses a na’ style as well as punishing fists, is genuine big-time material. « pagan, 25, has been a rated feathe for several years. His ring capabilities include ex- perience, agility and defensive skill; such a combination may prove more than Gene Smith can Handle. Flanagan’s pro record shows 63 bouts resulting in 46 vic- tories, 8 draws and 9 losses.

H. EARL DUNCAN (Continued From Page One) and Medical Program for the Schools of Monroe County. At the present time ours is one o% the few Counties in the State without such a program and I believe that its need is too ob- vious to require furthen explana- tion. 2. Secure insofar .as possible a cost-of-living salary increase for our Teachers and raise the money therefor by a business-like ad- ministgation of the entire educa- tional system rather than by seeking more money from the taxpayers. 3. Expand our school : facilities rather than by very costly piece- meal construction. : 4 Equip our schools with Florida State Board approvea equipment. 5. Keep our school system strictly OUT OF POLITICS. When education is controlled or even influenced by. political con- siderations, at that moment, it fails in its principa] function. If elected, I shall seek the advice and counsel of the people—the Mothers and Fathers of Monroe County—-and I am convinced that together we can maintain our Educational System in its most basic role—the mainstay of our Democratic form of Government.
